urea is a pain in the azz...truck pulls good tho...they have a few issues but every job1 truck does

i have one and the urea freezes below -12deg....until they get the bugs out of it i would hold off....

they don't have a fix for that yet...to keep it warm?

upgrade keeps heater on at all times when truck is running....they need to have it so when u plug the truck in the heater in the urea tank is on....or have a separate plug for the tank....or an additive so the urea doesn't freeze....otherwise the truck/power is amazing

I've been thinking of upgrading also but after some research it looks like the new models will be out late 2012.
I personally will wait and hopefully they update the interiors, I hate to say it but Ford and Dodge have better interiors right now IMO

-12... so all winter long. Great engineering on that one!

Yes they fubard the urea system for the winter thats for sure but other then that they seem to be decent.

I heard that urea will soon have an anti gel additive.

who would have thought that a person would drive a duramax in the winter. i want to be a engineer, sounds pretty dang easy.

Don't thank the engineers thank the stupid emission laws coming out of California CARB, and the rest of the US that are surely following.

My son bought one bout 6 weeks ago,,12000 km so far, has been to the dealer 9 times for a urea problem. He is pi$$ed as he uses the truck every day for hotshots. Warning lites go off every day. Dealer says GM is working on a solution. I just brought home a new Kenworth with the urea system on it,,still rigging the truck up so I dont know bout problems yet. KW says they have had no problems yet,,, hmmmm time will tell!

Well just wait and its coming that some damn usless government d bag thinks we should have the cali carb laws here. Say goodbye to two stroke anything, hotrods, straight piped diesels, civics with fart cans, etc. There's already annual smog testing in vancouver.

ITS COMING!

If possible,could you please get me the name of the dealer and or the person to talk to as the dealer here shows no interest in helping out at this time. Maybe after a conversation I could clue in the dealer here on how to properly look after a long time customer

The only thing these guys seem to understand is guys driving superduties.

just wondering if it is possible to delete the urea system and the extra emmisions on the new d-max with the use of programmers.

I'm told it would void the warranty. On the whole truck but that's not straight from the dealer, second hand info only.
